Light Racing or Camburg UCA's

I have two guys in my offroad club that had LR arms break while driving on a weld. That scares the shit out of me no matter what they changed. You don't hear Camburg, Total Choas, or other manufacturers with that problem on the highway.

 

Oh really?

Exactly, as mine did. So I'll spend the extra 200.00

 

5 years on old style LR UCAs , no ploblems

Just putting that out there

 

These are the things that need to be read.. No product is perfect.

Read ^. In any event, im not going to argue for one or the other, just making a decision based on the OPs want but at the end of the day its his money. If he wants to drop 600$ for high performance UCAs(which normally have 1.25 unis not the 1") for driving on the highway and out his driveway its of no consequence lol.

 

Thanks for the link bro but it's from 2011 and I am sure things have changed since then. And it looks like it was user error.

 

Lmao...

Things have changed since then.. LR have updated their UCAs which you've owned but apparently you didnt install correctly then when someone calls out Camburg you're all of a sudden on the defensive..

If you're gonna be bias about LR UCAs just be upfront about it, dont dillydally lol.

 

It's the Green party advantage. Reduce, reuse, and recycle right

Looks like that happened right after they came out and it didn't cause a failure on the road. LR's have broken without warning of a crack (trust me, the guys I know check for cracks on the suspension and driveline before heading out.)

That's also the first I've heard of that issue. Looks like the shop created it, not Camburg TBH.

So not exactly the same.

 

np, I hope things have changed for the better too. Although communication is one that is tough to improve on if the company has been around for more than 15 years

 

I'm still considering the LR product, but just because they say they fixed the issue doesn't give me confidence when people I know of in real life have almost died using their products and were refused a refund lol.

 

See this here i have no comment on lol, i wasnt there when your friends installed it or whatever the case may be, im just saying.

 

who said it was? Lol each company has had their issues, some may have fixed them and some may have not. Life's a gamble

 

What the hell are you talking about I had a newer set of the LR UCA's they failed. The link is about Uni Balls not the (Ball Joint type.) Find me something recent posted bad about Camburg Ball Joint Type Arms and I will take it into consideration. Not some link from 2011 that has nothing to do with Ball Joint type. Had LR they failed and were not put in wrong, Gonna give another company a try that is all. Wow

 

So if you had two friends who had the LR product break at 60 mph would you not have the same doubts as me.

I've done a lot of reading. 99.9% of the guys who run Camburg and that beat the shit out of them far more than I will have 0 issues with proper maintenance. I'm not rah rah'ing Camburg. I'm just presenting what's out there.

 

The link shows more of how shitty camburg's customer service is

 

If you read the thread, the shop that the member had press his ball-joint into the UCA was at fault, not Camburg.

 

Come one we are all Taco Bro's here no fighting aloud

 

So this comment below wasnt referring to you then?

If this is the case then i retract my previous statement lol

 

but who said the link was exactly the same as in your case in point?

 

Yeah I hope to not have to deal with that bro.
